Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The law of torts provides an evolving set of rules for determining entitlement to a damage award when an individual believes she has been harmed as a result of another's alleged questionable acts. It does not automatically shift responsibility, but rather considers various factors such as the type of harm, the defendant's conduct, and the plaintiff's own behavior in determining liability and the amount of damages awarded. It is not a system of no-fault limited liability, nor does it automatically provide a remedy to the innocent party without a thorough assessment of the circumstances.
